(Inflation coupled with little to no economic growth)

Raise those interest rates!!!! Says the old woman who bought her house in 1986 with a VA loan at 13% interest!! My sister bought 2 years before and her VA loan was 15%! Good times!!

Yep. Stagflation, here we come!

Hello depression.

Don't forget high unemployment.

We're going to be lucky to have stagflation. I suspect the contraction is going to be far worse than just stagnant.

alchemyunited.bsky.social•5 days ago

As opposed to what, fake "economic growth" that is really just pumping more money into the money supply? Watching that "create" artificial demand. Watching that drive up real estate prices? Etc? When are the suckers going to understand what's been going on all these years / decades ?

I call it America’s Great Regression.

noelkeith.bsky.social•5 days ago

Agree 💯

Please try the open letter where I called for the trade war to be devastating two months ago. It’s short & extra snarky

Welcome to Brexit …

Classic example of what not to do …

Bit like fascism really…

And yet …

You Americans do like to do things bigger

Not better

Just bigger…

For all you white suprematists

Quality beats size every time…

Sounds like an old fashioned blow up doll at a incel/bro-party, he said couched in innuendo for JD

boneshark.bsky.social•6 days ago

Most Americans don't remember stagflation. If there is anybody that can bring that nasty creature back it is Trump.

rbru1104.bsky.social•6 days ago

They will learn about it first hand. I was around for it too

And higher unemployment

cannakma.bsky.social•6 days ago

Stagflation requires the economy to remain equal. We will see a recession.

bakerbrown6.bsky.social•6 days ago

Or maybe worse. Not trying to bum anybody put but these tariffs and warmongering is going to crush our economy. We need a real president, not a rich asswhole

pyronsanity.bsky.social•5 days ago

If SCOTUS gives the regime a pubic hair’s width of leeway, especially with the “oopsies” deportations, then they should just let the bastard literally wipe his ass with the Constitution.

MAGA / tech bros would pay big money to watch live on Pay-Per-View for a chance to bid on framed squares 💁‍♀️

Inflation & Recession simultaneously.

A major: Don't Buy American Global trade impact.

America will be dreaming for stagnation. It will be much, much worse.

Batten down.

icobbleclogs.bsky.social•5 days ago

I'm a little surprised we're stopping at stagflation. I mean, if we get to deflation, at least Trump can say he did something about the price of eggs.

flatpicker.bsky.social•5 days ago

The idea the Fed can't cut to stoke growth doesn't seem to account for the fact that higher rates for longer doesn't bring down tariff-related inflation (i.e., inflation not associated with money supply expansion). Employment is the only part of their mandate that's still in their control.

Global economy will suffer. There will be a recession in global trade. Everyone will pay more for goods and everyone will have worse lives

wanderingrocket.bsky.social•5 days ago

The late 70s all over again. Hyperinflation will mean it'll take a Volker like move and push rates over 20% to tame it.

spspmoran.bsky.social•5 days ago

You think interest rates are high now. Just wait.

benevoluspf.bsky.social•6 days ago

It’s gonna be lit🙄🤦🏻

patricktoche.bsky.social•6 days ago

wishful thinking: if we get a recession, we won't get much inflation: there'll be a strong recovery in 3 years time, when Americans will push for a constitutional reform to have Trump president for life.

realpleo.bsky.social•5 days ago

You’ll probably get a strong dose of product shrinkflation as well.

Where's Trump getting his figures from ? He said Europe has a 39% tariff on American goods, it's usually about 3%, when you average it out it's more 1%.

bskyan0n.bsky.social•5 days ago

daveswan.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thanks, nothing that Trumps says about Tariffs make me believe he knows what a Tariff actually is.

neilraju.bsky.social•5 days ago

thanks for defining it for me because this is definitely the first time I've heard that term

For some, it will be literally starvation.

I saw somebody call it Trumpflation and I think that’s the messaging we should use.

Claims of "record numbers" even though the numbers won't show it.

gtjr.bsky.social•6 days ago

I remember the stagflation of the 1970s. A bad time. I can’t believe we are going from a “soft landing” to this. American voters are so stupid.

kdoggmn.bsky.social•5 days ago

And gas lines. I was a kid in the 70s. Totally remember the gas lines.

wgachesa.bsky.social•5 days ago

Don't have to explain this to me. I remember the 1980 presidential election. Interest rates were 12% in the late 70's while wages stayed the same.

Buckle up, Americans!
